Welcome to Swihart's Rabbit Habit
We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.Looking forward to the MSRBA fall show in Dec. I have been trying to get the does breed for some winter litters. Not everyone was willing..let's hope of a few more nice indian summer days.I have ADDED some Lionheads to the barn.I had several in early 2001..and the standard has really changed. I will be adding a Lionhead page as I get some of my own breeding..in my opinion the size, ears, and body type will be greatly improved with my dwarfs!! Keep your eye open-

UPDATE-Thanks to Darrell Howe for the new strip cages he made for me..a bit larger for the lionheads and litters..my winter project!! Anyone interested please feel free to contact me-

I have added a new page on what color I bred to what-a question I get alot. I am also putting up a OLD 4-H tip that I used to share with my group years back-FREE scoops..feed or conditioner..shavings. These work real well and are free-check it out..pictured on the "Tips" page.

New addition to the "Misc. page" - in 2008 will be more SEWING..I am doing a few new rabbit sewouts..lionheads are one of the breeds-

Here's is alittle "Swihart Rabbit Habit" history 101- I am located just south of Jackson, MI., where I was born and raised. We have been involved in the rabbit hobby since our youngest was 9..so that's 16 years. I have been married to my husband Charlie this year for 30 years!! We have raised 3 simply wonderful kids..very lucky we are!! We had some GREAT family news that we are going to be Grandparents in July..blessed we are!!We have made many great friends and been to alot of great places thru rabbits. I belong to ARBA, ANDRC, MSRBA. I acquired my ANDRC Charter Breeder status in 1999 - an accomplishment I am very proud of. I raise Netherland Dwarfs in the Selfs, Tan, Agouti and Broken pattern.

Our rabbits are raised in a temperature controlled barn. Seperate nursery for does and litters and a new area for jrs and breeding bucks. This addition has become much bigger then I had imagined! But this means more rabbits-this is a good thing. Keeping them seperate I will be able to keep the main barn much cooler. I breed strictly to the standard and occasionally have breeding and show stock for sale. Please check the SALES page for "new" sale rabbits.
